I loves me some spy movies. I tend to like the ones that are more suspense & plot oriented than action oriented, like "The Good Shepherd" or "Breach". But, a little action never hurts.
What are your favorites? |

The Day of the Jackal, whilst not exactly a spy movie, is great. Three Days of the Condor is also excellent.

If so, the first (The Bourne Identity), and the third (The Borne Supremacy), followed with the middle one (The Bourne Ultimatum).

|  | No need to ask, he's a smooth... Moderator | | Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: West Midlands UK | | Day of the Jackal was great. Not sure whether it falls into the spy category. But a film that definitely would, based on another book by the same author (Frederick Forsyth), was "The Fourth Protocol". Not as good as the book, but still a cracking film. Michael Caine and Pierce Brosnan both did well in this.
I liked the 3 Bourne movies and I suppose "special agent" = "spy", pretty much.
For older films, some of the Michael Caine movies where he plays Harry Palmer were really good, especially "The Ipcress File". Quote: |

| Sums up the last film I mentioned perfectly.

That ending was one hell of a surprise, too. So much so that it kind of ticked me off, too; I kept thinking, wait, this is the guy I was cheering on through the whole movie, and w t h????
Sean Young was ultra-hot in that movie, too. |

Though I didn't like the plot liberties they took with "the greatest spy novel ever written," it was a great movie in its own right.
